Ghost: We gave up the Moon to keep the Hive away from Earth. We hoped that would be enough for them.

Archer's Line, Ocean of Storms, Earth's Moon

Ghost: I used to look up here at night and wonder what the Hive were doing, but the only activity I could ever pick up was hazy. Like it was blocked or buried.

Guardian lands on the Moon

Ghost: A Guardian came here searching for a way into the Hive fortress, but he just disappeared. Let’s pick up his trail. His last known coordinates are up ahead. The Guardian’s last report said he captured this old accelerator from an unknown Fallen House. Some of this equipment shows recent activity. Had to be the Guardian’s Ghost.

Ghost begins investigating the colony equipment

Ghost: Alright, he was looking for the remains of an old colony base. Not too far. Maybe he’s still there.

Fallen attack

Ghost: You can grab your sparrow now, we’re linked. The colony base he was looking for should be on the other side of the ridge.

Fallen on Pikes chase the Guardian

Anchor of Light, Ocean of Storms, Earth's Moon

Ghost: This is where he was headed.

Ghost: Looks like he set up camp here. Let’s see what he left behind.

Ghost searches the camp

Ghost: His notes. They’re all about a place called the “Temple of Crota.” It’s not far from here. Sounds like a death trap.

Ghost: The ground here is hollowed out for miles. Who knows what’s happening under your feet.

Temple of Crota, Ocean of Storms, Earth's Moon

Ghost: I think we found the Temple.

Ghost: Up ahead. Guardian down.

A Guardian lies dead at the doorway to the Temple

Guardian: There’s nothing left…

Ghost: Not even the Light…Where’s his Ghost?

The Guardian spots the outline of the Exo Stranger on the clifftops

Ghost: We may want to move back…

The runes on the door begin to glow and fall away

Ghost: We’ve woken the Hive!

Thrall, Acolytes and Knights pour out of the doorway

Ghost: I’m picking up the dying Light of a Ghost. Inside.

The Guardian tries to revive a dead Ghost

Ghost: The Ghost is dead, but I can still read some of its memories. The Hive are raising an army here, preparing to invade Earth. We need to stop them.
